Quotes That Make Cents: The Most Beautiful

Quotes That Make Cents is a running series of quotes we find particularly money-motivational. This gem brought to you by the wise brain of Sigmund Freud.

As always, feel free to pin, share, or print and slap on the fridge next to the Scrabble scorecard your significant other proudly displays from that one time they beat you… which isn’t weird at all, right?

Another wave of sheer craziness in the OFB household. Pressing deadlines at our 9-5’s. A freaking 16-lb (!), 4-month-old ball of cuteness that takes naps, oh, never. Household chores that are piling up faster than our “dirty laundry corner.” None of it is actually worthy of complaining. Life is great. And this quote helped us remember that despite the growing pains of years past and today, we remember those memories more fondly than the ones we coasted through.

So for those of you in the heat of battle with the Debt Monster, or finding a job, or trying to solve that stupid tee puzzle at Cracker Barrel: chin up. Battle cheerfully. The now won’t necessarily suck less, but the tomorrow will make things worth it.

I’ll take 5 copies, although by publication date (2045) I probably will still have one bitchin headache from going through the required order process (ie., taking your face and slamming it against your palm).

Haha, I love this quote. I remember struggling through college with no money and no gas. I thought at the time that if only I could get a better job things would be okay. I look back now and I have some of the greatest memories and strongest friendships from that “miserable” time.

Ain’t that the truth. I still look fondly on our Taco Tuesday nights when we would grab 10 tacos for like $3 because that’s all we could afford in our eating out budget. Actually, Joanna might not look back on that favorably, but man, those were the days.

Take Your Shoes Off, Please

Hey, stranger! We’re Joanna and Johnny (and Sally). You can guess who's who. We’ll show you that normal people can figure this money stuff out by sharing our own journey. Because believe us — if we can figure this crap out, anyone can. And it all starts with a budget.

Friends? Maybe?
